I'm afraid to say that my parking lot should go to unfree section, too, as it depends on propermike's citycars.Citycars is really an issue, i'll see if i can take (and adapt) some from Pak128.Britain.Also, i plan to repaint a couple of Mhz's cars, to add a bit of variety.

I'm personally trying to 1) resume the works on new tracks/bridges/tunnels2) going on with new roads/bridges/tunnels

Great, fabio I'm looking forward seeing those new tracks from you since long ago!

Btw, my next goal is to make a minimal ship replacing pakset (similar to what I did with planes), which will include a couple of ships for each category, mainly one version for first half of 20th century, and a newer version for 1950 and avobe. Once I got that I'll begin to randomly add new ships, specially newer versions for years 2000+.

PS: But all this will start on wednesday, after I present my end-of-degree project. Imagine, me an IT engineer!

Perfect. Open 128 is now fully playable in terms of industry! Thanks a lot, you really make this happen.

In terms of "object for object" needs there is only one immediate hole: post offices - anyone know who made them? ModernPostOffice & PostOffice. Also Modern_Warehouse from leedsnut, but that is not important.

Next, four rail bridges: Plate_Girder_Bridge, SteelRail, SteelRail2, u_truss_bridge. I guess that belongs to new tracks project, eventually, and can be skipped.

I haven't taken a proper look at the missing buses and trains yet. Ships will be covered by Zeno as he says, so no problem there Trams have been made mostly by Raven, but the real problem are these that can be stacked to form longer (2 tile) units. These are seriously useful for things like metro (underground, subway)... 11 items in total.

That's another project I got in mind, a subway pakset consisting in six (maybe increasing to 8 or 9) sets of underground trains, smaller than usual trains (length is 6 IIRC).You can take a look on a couple of them I got already done, maybe they could do the job: Series 200B and Series 1000.

Two vehicles. These are sets consisting in two vehicles. I've coded them with restrictive constraints, so only trains with two vehicles allowed, no variations.Btw, on newer underground trains (from 1970 or so) were adapted to 5 vehicles, which is the formation currently used by all spanish undergrounds.

Well, in principle it's possible. However, I think that Raven had a really good point when he said (once on irc) that a set should be conceptually balanced and well planned. Do we have such plan for 128? By not looking at buses and trains I mean exactly this - I haven't even considered what has to be thought about, yet Perhaps this is as good time as any to do it...

I've contributed some vehicles these days since I finished my studies and having some free time. These vehicles are a set of undergraund trains (based on Barcelona's Metro), consisting in 9 trains, and a set of oil tank wagons, consisting of 9 different wagons filling the whole timeline (1870-2000s).

Since some days ago I've been drawing some ships to replace the current unlicensed (not-free) objects in pak. I will post some pictrues, renders and previews in this post. Hope you like them all

What is the current status so far? I think it would be good to re-write the listings after the last release (1.4.6). I've been playing with the open pak nightly (1930 to 1980 with timeline on), and AFAICT, most critical things missing are:

Rail bridges: I guess Fabio is working on that (part of his track&road renewal set)

Ships: I'm currently working on a full set replacing (so that will take a while)

Passenger trains: I miss some more passenger trains in all eras, despite this is not as critical as ships/bridges.

Is there anything I forget about?

PS: I've been suffering some kind of compulsive vehicle painting, so I can contribute with some extra vehicles:

Freight trains: I have a spanish set of about 10 locos (diesel & electric). They would need a re-rendering, plus applying player colours.

Freight trains: Just finished a set of 3 high power multi-head locos: EMD-FT, Dm3 and IORE. Dm3 may need re-aligning.

Passenger trains: I've painted a full set of 5 or 6 french TGV that could help replacing the missing Shinkansen.

Buses: Got a couple of re-rendered buses, for 1970 and 1980 IIRC, with player colours and urban/intercity versions.

Rail bridges: I guess Fabio is working on that (part of his track&road renewal set)

Confirmed, I'm working on them, although I'm also working on a full set replacing and it will take a while, moreover, time in the present period is extremely limited, I hope/guess I'll have more later this Spring.

Aaahh... nice to hear that! Btw, don't care about the time, we will patiently wait, and the pak won't go anywhere

So, just to clarify, am I correct about this:- ALL the factories are now done? (Is the Moebelhaus /Home Market in the pak?)- a new post office is the only important missing station?- the only other vital missing elements are fabio's rail bridges and Zeno's ships?- Haru is the only major author who can't be found?

Perhaps it will soon be time to switch to a new, public, 100% open source SVN repository for OpenPak128?

It is planned and it will be done when is the time

There's still a lot of work with tracks, roads and bridges (where fabio is working), and also with ships and some trains (where I am working). Moreover, VS (pak mantainer) is quite busy these days. So there's no need to hurry

AFAIK he was found and autorised to release his creations under open source license.

Wow, so in the end very little needed to be removed.

Well, I don't want to rush anyone, but I would love to see it by next January or so.
